“…In this context, ecological economics can strengthen the ability to explain interdisciplinary methods open to learning because the field of existence re-quires the knowledge of more than one system. Within this domain of existence, there are both precisely defined biophysical processes and social processes that are unclear but where trends can be identified, for example (Franco, 2018). In this sense, when determining the content of the interaction, being open to other disciplines on the methodological basis to be formed should not be considered as method chaos.…”

“…The association of this existential basis with the normative propositions in the social sciences to ecological economics creates an important problem-atic. Various normative propositions are also proposed for economics, which can be defined from a biophysical basis by affecting the effects of ecological dynamics on the analysis based on classical economic theory (Franco, 2018). In this context, basing a research field specific to a discipline on social utopias, various ethical and ideal evaluations may create various shifts in the reflection of this reality.…”

There is no clear consensus on what will be the ontological foundations of ecological economics. A similar situation is valid for the epistemologies related to ecological economics and the methodologies to be constructed afterward. In this study, evaluations have been made on the subject area, which tries to contribute from many fundamentals. As a result of the evaluations, it was concluded that instead of subjective judgments about the foundation that is in the process of being formed, the ecological reality dominated by causation can be beneficial for a more effective scientific activity.

“…According to Akimova'sdefinitionthe environmental and economic system is "a part of the technobiosphere bounded by a certain territory, in which natural, social and industrial structures and processes are interconnected by mutually supportive flows of matter, energy and information" [6]. According to another point of view, EES is defined as a set of interconnections between ecology and economy, described by analyzing the flows and stocks of energy and matter, including their economic consequences for the social security processes and cultural development [7].…”

The subject of the study is environmental and economic systems. The authors specified the concept of environmental and economic systems as the natural environment under the influence of human economic and social activities, including mutual influence, as well as the consequences resulting from it. The authors set a goal to develop a methodology for the study of environmental and economic systems that would adequately assess their current state and forecast changes. The approach to the study of such systems consists in the staged application of cluster analysis and data mining classification methods (random forest and support vectors method) and followed assessment of the quality of the model and choosing the best method. In presented research, the analytical procedures are automated in the R-Studio package. The analysis of the same indicators by two different methods confirmed the direct relationship between the costs and investments in environmental protection and the results of environmental protection: with the growth of investments in environmental protection, indicators of recycled water use, discharge of polluted wastewater, air emissions of pollutants were reduced.

“…In Russia the founder of energy analysis is usually considered to be Sergei A. Podolynsky, a Ukrainian precursor of today's ecological economists, who lived and worked in the pre-revolutionary period. In 1881, he proposed an energy balance of the agricultural production together with a monetary cost analysis [2,3]. During the USSR period, the idea of energy analysis is reflected in the researches of Nikolai M. Fedorovsky, the organizer and the first Director of the all-Union scientific-research Institute of mineral raw materials (1923)(1924)(1925)(1926)(1927)(1928)(1929)(1930)(1931)(1932)(1933)(1934)(1935)(1936)(1937), who developed a classification of minerals on the energy characteristic and industrial application.…”

Creating an Energy Analysis Concept for Oil and Gas Companies: The Case of the Yakutiya Company in Russia

Recently, energy analysis has been added to Russian gas companies’ annual reporting system. This new practice indicates that corporate reports are improving their analyses by addressing energy issue and the financial efficiency of energy production. However, the use of summary energy indicators is limited in these annual reports. In this paper we review the history of energy analysis in Russia from the early USSR period to today. Under the guidance of energy return on investment (EROI), we compare energy efficiency indicators with financial efficiency coefficients. The results show that the value of the return on cost of sales (ROCS) is negative in certain instances, while the value of the energy return on cost of sales (EROCS) is extremely high under the example of the Russian energy company JSC “YATEC.” Money-based indicator values (ROCS and return on fix assets (ROFA)) fluctuate with internal company financial management goals, and from the outside depending on market prices. Meanwhile energy-based values (EROCS) remain stable. Added financial analysis and energy analysis in companies’ annual statements will supplement each other in practice and will present the full picture for company efficiency analysis.
